Let the interviews begin!

It's funny that the hiring department is so concerned with which domiciles get full when scheduling doesn't give a damn. They just see that this BOS guy and this LAX guy are on the same day so we will just airline them together.

If scheduling actually cared where the pilots were I'd be flying with a lot more new england guys that are on my same 7n7 line. Instead i end up flying with west coast guys with 3 days left in their tour.

Thanks for the responses guys, I'll keep trying. However, that's the point I was trying to make. I haven't even gotten the application package, and it's coming up on a month. Are my quals not competitive? I thought they sent the app to everyone, and just interviewed the competitive ones. My buddy that sent a resume in a week or 2 before me got his app package in 2 weeks. I'm just wondering what the procedure is.

I will definitely still interview if offered though.

Congrats Archie

Hey Archie,

I too am eagerly awaiting a call for an interview. Any chance you, or anyone else for that matter, could PM me with some gouge sources? ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Thanks VVJM265, I've tried there but am having trouble logging on...must be something with my email...I guess I'll have to re-register. In the meantime, if you have any advice, please feel free to PM me...thanx again.

That's the catch with me folks, I haven't even recieved the app package. My buddy got it in about 2 weeks, and it's been coming up on a month with me, and nuttin' honey. What's the deal? I thought they sent that to everyone. Am I wrong and do they just send it to people that are competitive?

Thanks.

might've been a double post.

I emailed in a resume at least 3 weeks ago, and haven't heard a peep. I was getting ready to send another one but now I'm not so sure, because I wanted DAL as a domicile. However, I could also live with PBI. Anybody have any idea?

Hold tight and keep an eye out for any changes in this domicile debacle. The talk on the union board is that the pool of candidates may be drying up and the pilot recruitment people are well aware that the domicile issue is driving away a lot of potential candidates.

Conversely, training is pretty backed up right now. The company may be slowing up on lining up interviews to give the training pipeline time to recover.

I will also say that when I was trying to get an interview with NetJets, even with a letter of recommendation, it still took me a little while to get the actual interview after I got the application package. Bottom line - it may take a while, regardless of your qualifications.

For what is's worth, I'm one of the guy's the basing options chased off. I really wanted to fly for NJ and I've had lots of friend fly there and loved it, but there was no way to make it work. I ended up at FedEx instead. Hope you all change this soon.

I totally agree with you on this point bud. I was just out on IOE this past week. I am PBI based, but I ran into two LAX based guys at the PBI Plaza hotel... I asked how they arrived in PBI and their response was "oh we airlined from the west coast to here!!" So why even bother... The only thing that I saw as a positive for the company for this domicile thing is the lack of airlining pilots around (which obviously didn't work in this example). However I was lucky enough to start and end my tour without touching a commercial airline flight. Once the (H) Highway shuts down next month then I can see the company airlining me to an airplane elsewhere.

Domicile Debacle is much more fitting than Domicile System. You won't mind if I borrow that for my own posts, I trust.
My husband and I have been discussing the issue for some time and he tells me this is one to keep an eye on.

process

could someone briefly explain the hiring process at NetJets. i understand first e-mail your resume, which I have done, then do they send you an e-mail confirming they received it? Then what? Thanks for any input.

 

[DO-82 driver]

NJW....soon we;ll have the FMLA Fiasco.....I can't believe what they are trying to pull now!!!!!!!

 

[hopalong]

Hi corpaviation. After they receive your resume and, if you meet their
qualifications, they will send you an application in the mail. I received my
application about 2 weeks after I sent my resume. That was back in January.
After you send in the application, they have been sending most pilots generic e-mails saying that you have met all of their requirements and that you are pending an interview. (waitmail). Although, some pilots have been called in right away. They are very backed up right now from what I hear and aren't even interviewing in March. Look at nixxons thread on net jets timetable to get some idea of timeframes. It is very helpful. It's a looong process but well worth it. Take care and good luck.

 

[corpaviation]

Thanks for the info, look foward to hearing something hopefully! Seems like a great place to work!

 

[netjetwife]

Yes, DO, that has been discussed, as well. Another missed opportunity to mend/improve labor relations.

No problem, NetJetWife - feel free to use that one. I'm still filling out the paperwork to trademark "domicile debacle".

And I agree with your husband that the domicile debacle is an issue to watch. Especially if the company attempts to re-open any of the closed domiciles.

Let's hope Mr. Santulli is serious about turning the company around.

 

[netjetwife]

Yes, therein lies the problem. The matter of pilots' rights was made clear to them recently but they want to cross that particular bridge when they come to it. So we wait and watch and hope they deal with it sooner rather than later. If RS is serious about rebuilding labor-management relationships this would be a good area to start things off on the right foot with his newest pilots. Additionally, signs that the company takes contract compliance seriously will be welcome news for every pilot.

The NJ pilots who predicted that Santulli would come riding to the rescue were partially correct, perhaps. It seems he waited until Boisture had done his "dirty work" (fighting the pilots) for him before making an appearance. Let's hope he is waving a broom rather than a sword. There's a lot of clean up to do, starting with waste and half-baked ideas like the domicile debacle.

 

[Hawker800]

Blew the sim back in Oct. Was told I could try again after six months. Served my sentence and contacted the folks at CMH. Sent me some forms to fill out and sent them back. Received the dreaded letter yesterday advising me that I would not be able to try again. Gave no reason. Had a very strong corporate background and typed on an aircraft NJ uses. Guess I should of had an airline background. I really wanted to fly for them. PBI would have worked fine. Such is life I guess. Good luck to all.

 

[netjetwife]

I'm sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you, Hawker 800. It seems there should be a standard process that is always followed to keep things fair. At the very least, I think an explanation is owed when they change the rules on you.
